Fair warning, Game Changers is a bit rough, they generally get better as they go. Role Model and The Long Game are best in the series, Reid's non-canon Time to Shine is basically a cute BL anime in book form. Also highly recommend Sarina Bowen's work, particularly "Him" and "Us".
Iβve moved onto other gay romance books but thank god I still have a Twitter account to inform me that Heated Rivalry fandom has now gone full Perfect Blue
βHollywood understands anime/asian culture now!β
I just heard from someone at Disney that the success of KPop Demon Hunters sent the entire executive team into a βwe need demon hunting animeβ frenzy that lasted months
Yes, they STILL think itβs anime

The reality is that studios can spend the next 10 years throwing hundreds of millions of dollars into AI-produced, algorithm-driven "content" and yet they'll never produce a work even a fraction as emotionally evocative as a 90 second Volkswagen ad from 1999

Tweet from Shibuya Kaho: Devastating news for a manga fan. It's now officially confirmed, after 3 days of speculations going viral on X, that this manga artist got ruled for doing horrendous things to his then underaged student. What's worse, it looks like the major publisher Shogakukan kept the secret for 6 years, even hired him under a different pen name as author for a new show. This mangaka Shoichi Yamamoto SA'ed a high schooler he taught part time, made her eat feces and smeared them on her face too. She was 15 when it started. He got arrested in 2020 and his comic "Daten Sakusen" stopped with little explanation. In the following year, his editor allegedly advised for the settlement, offering the victim 1.5M yen (roughly $9600) to stay quiet, which of course they failed. In 2022, the artist was brought back as Hajime Ichiro to write a story for their new series. As in "their", it's the same editor. The publisher made a statement only on their app "Manga One" so far, the exclusive platform for his works. But many already deleted the app, including myself.
I donβt know why Iβm first hearing about this from a famous JAV actress turned videogame content creator, but this is the first Iβm hearing of this really horrific story and SIX YEAR COVERUP by Shogakukan (CW: sexual abuse). And itβs not like the perpetrator is even famous. Are there others who are?
Happy 75 to a legend. β€οΈ
Maybe now someone can ask him to defend his cultural output
Of course, nobody got back to me until Monday, at which point it was too late, I was gone and read them the riot act.
I've been a physical wreck all week, and yesterday my sports masseuse informed me that every muscle had turned to granite. It took 90 min to de-clench me.

I thought maybe they saw Big Boobs Buster and thought we were selling porn, but no βΒ it was just a random procedural thing. Which they dropped on me at the end of the week with no real explanation and then offered no way of contacting anybody. Was losing my mind.
Last Friday afternoon, right after I posted the new batch of Discotek Deep Dives, our payment processor decided to freeze our account. It was a huge sales weekend and it took me until Saturday afternoon to get up with a new one. (Luckily customer impact was minimal.)

Because people keep talking about this and I elaborated privately, I will elaborate publicly as to why this was happening. For reference, I am an accountant and I deal with property tax, rent, and other processes like this at my job. Not here to state the right and wrong, just the accounting. (1/?)

Not even that, it's the existing release
about 8 episodes in on this bad boy. love the colors and soundtrack. incredibly violent children's cartoon, good stuff. the english dubbed version is really nice to have, but it's one of those Hong Kong affairs with a really small voice cast that doggedly mispronounces every single name.
